TY WILLIAMS WIRES I-70
MOTORSPORTS PARK 305 NATIONALS
FINALE!
Lonnie Wheatley, ODESSA, Mo. (May
28, 2022) – Ty Williams wasn’t
letting another I-70 Motorsports
Park 305 Sprint Car Nationals
title slip from his grasp.
After leading more than half of
last year’s finale before getting
bogged down in traffic, the
Arcadia, OK, racer capitalized on
the pole starting position and
wasn’t to be stopped as he led all
30 rounds to take Saturday night’s
payday worth $4,700 that included
$1,700 in lap money along with the
$3,000 posted winner’s share atop
the 4/10-mile clay oval.
After redrawing the pole position
for the championship feature after
a heat race win, Williams
outgunned fellow front row starter
Jay Russell for the point at the
outset aboard the Steve Hilker
Trucking/Cattletrucks.com No. 911
while Friday night preliminary
winner Monty Ferriera needed just
two laps to charge from sixth to
second.
Williams weathered four cautions
in the early going that kept him
clear of lapped traffic before the
final 19 laps ran off in non-stop
fashion.
Williams repelled a pair of
charges from Ferreira on restarts
and then stretched his lead to
nearly a straightaway over
Ferriera and Stu Snyder, who
engaged in a torrid battle for
second for nearly 15 laps.
Lapped traffic proved to be no
problem for Williams this time
until the closing rounds when he
found himself stranded behind a
lapped car for several circuits.
In the meantime, Ferriera and
Snyder began to chop into his lead
as they swapped the runner-up
position numerous times.
Williams finally put the lapped
car behind him in the final
handful of circuits to secure the
win while the battle for second
finally culminated in contact
exiting turn four that sent Snyder
climbing and bouncing off the
retaining wall.
Ferriera escaped the battle for
runner-up honors while Snyder
somehow saved his machine to
salvage the show position.
Russell scored fourth with Trevor
Grossenbacher rounding out the top
five as Jon Freeman, 13th-starter
Curtis Evans, Luke Cranston, Jacob
Dye and John Webster completed the
top ten. Webster earned a front
hub assembly from Taylor Weld by
earning Hard Charger honors after
rallying from 18th to tenth.
A
pair of the early cautions
affected leading contenders with
third-runner Jeremy Huish losing
power after eight rounds and then
Luke Cranston slowing a lap later
with a cut tire while battling
among the top five. While Huish’s
weekend was cut short, Cranston
bounced back from the tail of the
field for an eighth-place finish.

Ferriera
Flies to 305 Nationals Prelim Win
at I-70 Motorsports Park!
Lonnie Wheatley, ODESSA, Mo. (May
27, 2022) – Monty Ferriera broke
into United Rebel Sprint Series
victory lane for the first time by
wiring the field in Friday night’s
20-lap I-70 Motorsports Park 305
Sprint Car Nationals preliminary
feature event.
Ferriera gunned into the lead from
the pole position ahead of
third-starter Jeremy Huish on the
opening round and then fought off
a serious challenge from Huish on
a lap 14 restart to take the
$1,000 victory aboard the
Precision Brands
Investments/Wrenched No. 45 Sprint
Car.
“He (Huish) tried the same thing
on both the initial start and then
that late restart,” Ferriera
explained. “I just knew I had to
hold him off.”
It was also the first win of the
year for the California native
turned Nebraska resident.
“I think we’ve been top five out
every race this year, tonight
things finally fell in place,”
Ferriera commented. “And I’ve
been trying to win a United Rebel
Sprint Series race for about five
years, so it feels good to finally
get that.”
While Ferriera gunned into the
early lead, Huish gave chase all
the way. Even when lapped traffic
came into play after eight laps,
Ferriera kept Huish and Jacob Dye
at bye until the race’s only
caution flew after 14 laps when
Jay Russell lost power on the
frontstretch.
Huish made a bid for the point on
the restart in turns one and two,
but Ferriera was up to the task
and pulled back ahead to lead the
rest of the way.
Huish settled for runner-up
honors, while a late move past Stu
Snyder netted Luke Cranston the
show position after apparent
third-place finisher Dye fell
light at the scales.
Snyder was fourth with Jon Freeman
rounding out the top five as Ty
Williams, Trevor Grossenbacher,
Kenny Potter, Curtis Evans and
Jack Potter completed the top ten.
After Dye established the fastest
overall lap of 15.559 seconds in
qualifying, Cranston, Cash Beeson
and Ferriera each scored 8-lap
heat race wins.
Chad Frewaldt’s night came to an
early end after a wild ride near
the end of the frontstetch in hot
laps. Frewaldt appeared healthy
as he shared words with John
Webster in the aftermath.
I-70 Motorsports Park’s 305 Sprint
Car Nationals wraps up with
Saturday night’s $3,000-to-win
finale with the USRA B-Modifieds
and USRA Stock Cars both battling
it out in $1,000-to-win
tilts. Saturday’s racing action
gets under way at 7:30.
